The food is okay but would not recommend eating here on the weekend. Hand pattied burgers really good, however they are SUPPOSED to be cooked to order. It's hard to believe a cold burger could have been cooked when I ordered it. Another review noted the lack of cleanliness - so true. Floors are nasty but the tables aren't sticky. Milkshakes are good. Sad. Lots of improvement could be made here. At least it's still better than most options in Troy. read more

It's a fast food place. I had the hot dog all the way & it was great. My friends had other food. I think a burger. they said it was very good. I picked it up. read more

The restaurant was cute, but dirty. The windows and tables and floors are dirty, the bathrooms are dirty, toilet wouldn't work. The burgers taste good but are tiny. The milk shakes are excellent!! I could not get help at the counter to even see if they had ketchup for our fries and onion rings. There were three people working and they were not busy. It's poor training and uncaring people. read more

I was just there recently. It's been a stop when I get near Troy for years. This place is old school and has food you won't find much anywhere else, like a banana sandwich. I usually get the burger and a hot dog though. No one I've been with has ever complained. It isn't fast, but slow is good sometimes, especially in a small town. If you make it to Troy, stop in. read more

If you want great home cooked food, this is a terrific place. Do yourself a favor and bypass the Bojangles and McDonalds right across the street and come to Better Burger. I got the classic double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo and small fries. Delicious! My husband had the pork loin biscuit. These are the original "cat head" biscuits my dad used to make. And they have three styles of breakfast potatoes. Family run with kind words and sweet smiles!!! read more

Very slow service for being the only people in the restaurant. Milk shakes were tasty, and prices were reasonable.

The food was good. I did a pickup order so the fries were cold. Everything tasted good. Prices were excellent. I will definitely be going back. It was great. The chilli was delicious read more

Nothing fancy here, but a GREAT hot dog. Hamburger steak sandwich is also good. It's a dive, but clean and friendly. We'll be back.

This restaurant is under New Management has a new owner than what it did in the years past. They had a few hiccups at first but now they're doing really really good and the food is great I love the breakfast one of the few places you can get sunny side up eggs. read more

I've been a customer of Better Burger for 50 years, good North Carolina hot dogs are a favorite and they have many delicious sandwiches available. And another favorite is their ice cream. read more

Yes, I would recommend the Better Burger. It's a long time business w/ local owners. Love the Jeff's Burger w/ Cheddar cheese, & their Whitney Burger w/ Velveeta cheese, made w/ fresh ground beef daily & they make the patty as you order. Love their Fried Chicken Strip sandwiches. read more

Fantastic cheeseburger (all the way) and hotdog (all the way), fries and wedges were really good too. Fast service and super friendly. Overall a great experience! read more

I have never found a better hot dog. Better Burger has survived any restaurants that come along which proves it has the best food.

Since new ownership I have seen a big change in the food and atmosphere. Fresh food that is delicious. And their ice cream is amazing

No whiners allowed. Good things to those who wait. Neither Hardees nor McDonald's nor Bojangles could take business away from this place. If you are in a hurry call ahead. Otherwise place your order, check out the trophies or the want ads and wait for your number to be called. In all seriousness everything here is better all the way which is with coleslaw and chilli. The Giant double bacon cheeseburger and hot dogs are my favorites along with the breakfast biscuits. The tenderloin is actual pork tenderloin, not the fried hockey puck most places use. The barbecue and other platters are so much better than you'll find anywhere else. Onion rings are better than the fries though. Finish up with an ice cream cone and you're good to go. It used to be a drive-in, car-hop type joint that was enclosed to add a dining room with booths and tables. They still have the two open windows over a stainless-steel counter, just like American Graffiti. read more

Ate at Better Burger in Troy yesterday. Got food poisoning. Woke up at 2:00am with awful stomach pains and now can't be more then a few steps from the bathroom at any time and I am miserable. Called the restaurant and the owner had left by 10 am. Left a message explaining and asking the staff to call the owner and have them call right away. In the 40 minutes I've waited so far I've found they shut their reviews off 3 years ago (pre Covid!) for issues I saw at the restaurant yesterday. Owner did call me. Whitney Harris. She told me someone sent her my Facebook post so she called the restaurant and got my message. I heard about how it was the concert in Troy and that's why the restaurant was not clean. The concert was 2 hours after I was there. Google reviews says it's not clean often. I asked why they didn't call her when a customer suspected food poisoning. She told me they are only have kids working there. She also said she HEARD food poisoning takes 24 hours and they wear gloves to stop cross contamination. I didn't see any when I was there and other reviews aI heard it was a bad day yesterday. I heard many excuses. She kept wanting to explain why. I did not hear an apology or anything of the sort. She did offer to pull cameras to check and see if they wear gloves like they should. That's her fix for what happened yesterday. Not even a refund for a badly cooked meal was offered. I told her i was not happy with her lack of accountability and hung up. She called back. I told her to talk to the health department Monday. She said she would. You couldn't pay for my meal and have me eat Better Burger again. I'd also like to challenge her to turn her reviews on Facebook back on. read more

Food was absolutely fucking terrible burger was cold and fries was undercooked they will never get my money again

Friendly staff, Love the Jeff burger hand patties and chips. Absolute favorite is alway bacon and double egg biscuit. So easy to call in. We usually have a big order 14 plus so we call in early. Always ready and fresh. Easy on the wallet prices read more

I would not order from here if it was the last place standing. I have personally seen a cook drop food on the floor and pick it back up and served it. This has been a while back and I still will not eat there! read more

Stopped by to get a burger after a day spent on the Uwharrie trails and it was really good! Definitely a better stop when the surrounding options are chain fast food places. read more

Very good food/reasonably priced and service is quick!!! They need to modify their hours on this page--as they are not open at 5:00am on Sunday read more

5 stars. It is what it is. An amazing burger joint. If you rate it less than 5 then your burger, chili, or slaw must have been bad. Otherwise you are mistaken. The only place I actually need to come back to in Troy. This place should be on a burger map of must have burgers. read more

As a resident of Troy I've eaten at Better Burger on several occasions and I've had mixed experiences dining there. On the last 2 visits they didn't have what I originally wanted to order but I was happy to go with my second choice as well. The giant cheeseburger is delicious and the milkshakes never dissapoint but geez Louise they need to hire someone to clean that dining room properly! Such good food shouldn't be eaten in a dirty restaurant. There's nothing I've eaten there that wasn't good its mostly just cleanliness issues with me, but if you don't mind the dirt and grime its the perfect small town burger joint. read more

I have always loved Better Burger. I could go for some right now! Always get the double cheese burger all the way. Oh and the chocolate milkshakes are awesome. Sometimes it's busy, but that's fine, I'll wait! Love this place, lots of memories here. read more

Amazing food! My favorite is a Chicken Patty lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bacon! Great service. Locally owned and by a loving family! This restaurant would be a great family place to eat! read more

Great food but customer service is horrible! Very rude and annoyed with customers. Charged my card twice and seemed annoyed that I asked about it. Isn't the first time that the customer service was awful either. read more

I checked out Jerry B.s ratings. He's rated 9 restaurants and not one of them has gotten above 2 stars. I'd recommend that he stay home. This restaurant is a great burger joint, enough said. read more

In a hurry? Go elsewhere! Ride up in a Harley and get 10% off. Really? Stopped there yesterday while travelling. Hoped to get something other than Mickey D's. Went inside and had one customer ahead of me. The "cashier" was in no hurry to get to me. She was just chatting away to a family that looked like they just came off the set of Amish Mafia. Anyway, as the "cashier" stood there slapping her jaws and scratching her head, I decided that maybe Mickey D's might be a better choice. So many times you hear that one should support ma and pa businesses. I agree, but Ma and Pa, get your act together and train your workers. read more
